That is what I've been trying to do. Working my A## off and making a decent living but if you figure all the hours I've worked my top guys probably made more than I did per hour.
I've been doing it for over 10 years.
Why?
I'd go work for someone else if my employees made more than me. I went into business to make a lot more than what I could make working for someone. I don't see a point in going into business for myself if I can't do that.
After 10years if your not making substantially more than what your top employee is making something is seriously wrong in my opinion.
I guess if you're happy with that, it's fine.
